I still have the first SSD I ever bought years and years ago. It's still fine. Zero issues. Never had an SSD die.

Spinning rust? Last one I bought I have connected to my desktop mounted in read only mode because it's severely fucked up.

Total engineering fail: they did the math wrong - it was supposed to be 6 months after the warranty expired...
